Everything seems to be pointless
In the morning light, I see the rain
I try hard to look away, try to refrain
But when my spirit loses its way
I can’t be brave, can’t chase the fear away.
I need light to guide my way.
I need a hand to rise me again.
I need a song to play in my head.
I need to trust in a better day.
We hide in fear, avoid the words,
We cry to the silence,
without our voice being...
Down on my knees for you
They ached oh so much
Oh so much
Praying
Over and over
Again and again
One two three
One two three
Blink breathe
Blink breathe
Hoping that my dreams shall come true
Tears staining my cheeks
Ignorant to the sad truth
The painful reality
There’s no such thing as equality
No such thing as freedom
Peace
They are merely myths
And that’s when it hit me
Hope i...
At the top of the mountain
People gaze down below
Finding success in the big achievements that made them grow
When it took three days to climb up hill
A backpack on their back
With what little food and water
Can they share what they have left?
Hope is the bridge
Between the mountain and the valley
When it comes to despair and joy
It simply cannot be tallied...
people say that god tests the one’s he loves,even if it inflicts pain
Maybe that’s true
But what if I don’t believe in god?
I keep having bad experiences just like that for no reason? Just suffering for the sake of suffering?
I always found the concept of past lives interesting because what if it was true
And “god” keeps putting me in these situations over and over with the same people yo learn ...
I am both amused and disheartened
about the debate
Everyone laughs about what he said
But it’s scary
people still support him anyway
He has this power
To say anything he wants
And no one still stop him
Hope really is the bridge
between despair and joy
I’m hopeful
But also worried
What a time to live in America

Despair and joy are
Closer than you think
There is one thing that
Bridges them together
It’s that one thing
That people try not to
Have too much of
It can lead you into being
Strong, other times it can
Lead you into being weak
Sometimes when it’s false
It does more help than when
It’s real
Hope is the bridge
Between despair and joy...
They say, “Hope is the bridge
Between despair and joy,”
But what would happen if
The bridges start to fall?
They say when you come to
A bridge, you should cross it,
But I grew up hearing
A different saying.
It was, “We’ll burn that bridge
Whenever we get there.”
So I burned all of mine,
Every last one of them.
If there’s nothing left now,
It’s probably my fault.
I know I can’t fix it, ...
“Hope is the bridge
between despair and joy.”
A quote so true especially
about a certain boy.
—————————
Stop being smart,
that’s too attractive—
Stop having a heart,
I don’t think my heart can take it.
Stop smiling and joking,
you’re literally so fine—
Stop grinning and talking
with that smooth, deep voice
of yours.
Stop the humor,
I’ve already fallen.
Stop the rumors,
I can’t handle
hearing y...
Hope is the bridge between despair and joy. Hope allows a lot,
But it also derails
And as it unravels,
The joy begins to rot
And you’re back to despair
But it can’t be repaired
Life isn’t fair
And maybe God doesn’t care.
Don’t give me hope and then take it away,
Do not get up and leave
when you’ve told me you’d stay.
I can’t take any more pain,
I’m sorry to complain,
But I cannot breathe
When I’...
